That guy hit the lottery at the height of the tech boom and has done nothing since...

He did a little more than that. He had a pretty successful exit before broadcast.com.

He manufactured much of his success: http://investmentxyz.blogspot.com/2006/05/cubans-collar-anat...

What do you mean by manufactured? The options he bought to protect his locked up Yahoo stock was probably one of the smarter decisions he has made

correct, and that's why surveys need to be as scientific as possible in order to avoid various biases that skew the results. hence qualtrics and not surveymonkey for serious survey research.

How does Qualtrics get people who refuse to answer surveys to do so? Come to their door and offer big bucks and then weight those answers heavily?

I don't know, but the key is to properly account for the biases in responses of those who do answer. Substantial percentages of people do answer surveys. Don't make the mistake of thinking along the lines of "i would never answer one, therefore nobody would"

imo Audi/VW has the best dashboard GUI in the auto business bar BMW iDrive. Try using honda or toyota and you will see that it can be much much worse than audi, laggy and badly designed.

They have a nice LCD panel but they decided to not make it touch-enabled. So to enter a street address you're supposed to draw the characters with your finger Palm-Pilot-style on a crappy touchpad. It's absurd. That's on a 2018 model. I think they're fixing that in some of the 2019 models.

They don't do this to annoy you but to allow you to keep your eyes on the road more frequently. You are supposed to draw the characters blindly, without looking at the touchpad. They carried out user tests that demonstrated that a real touchscreen captures the driver's attention to a much stronger degree than this system. It might look limiting and obsolete on first glance, but it reduces risks to life and health of all involved parties.

Private tutoring is illegal?

Probably putting flyers in mailboxes without paying for postal service to do so. Now that I stop and think about it, it's likely illegal in the US, too. Interfering with mail services might well be a federal crime. (or maybe not, I really don't know).

people usually put flyers on door knobs and door steps and other non-mail related avenues to residences. You also see the flyer tucked under the windshield wiper blade of vehicles parked in parking lots.

It's illegal because it isn't fair. https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/youll-never-gue...

Interesting, looks like its unconstitutional too...

""" ...that Draconian approach was the brainchild of Korea’s military leader, Chun Doo Hwan, who took power in 1980 and almost immediately banned private teaching (known as kwawoe). Chun’s goals were to equalize educational opportunities for the poor and to relieve parents of the burden of paying for education. The ban lived on until last month, when the Constitutional Court, Korea’s highest court, ruled that it is unconstitutional because it “infringes upon the basic rights of the people to educate their children.” """
